The fight goes on.
A fortnight after Neale's Daniher death, he has been honoured at the biggest AFL match this season outside the grand final.
A record Big Freeze crowd, most of them wearing distinctive blues beanies, packed the MCG on Monday for the 12th edition of the fundraiser ahead of the King's Birthday blockbuster between Collingwood and Melbourne.
Players, coaches and umpires formed a circle in the middle of the MCG before the game, as a video tribute was played for Daniher. Then the crowd broke out in applause.
The crowd of 88,019 is a record for a Big Freeze game - this year was the 12th - and the FightMND charity said 100,000 digital beanies had been sold, raising $2.5 million.
